The Castle of Dreams

- 8 - Together Again

"So, we really changed all these fairytales?" Beckett asked after hearing about the storybooks Baylee had discovered. Baylee nodded and showed Beckett and Rebecca the Boy Who Cried Wolf story which now showed everything Beckett and Rebecca had just explained to them about what had happened to them. "Thats crazy." Rebecca said looking through the book. Baylee nodded and put the book back in her backpack. "So, I think we should find our way back home now." Wiley said standing up from the circle. The others stood up as well. "But how are we going to get home? We have no idea where we even are!!" Rebecca exclaimed. Someone from behind them cleared their throat. The six spun around to face the newcomer. "Sarah? What are you doing here back here?" Beckett asked.

"Yeah, what are you doing back here?" Rebecca repeated with that same sort of jealosy in her voice. Baylee and Casey both nudged Rebecca silently telling her to be nice. Rebecca crossed her arms and stared at Sarah waiting for an answer. "I came to see if you guys had left yet. Thankfully, you haven't, I have some important information to give you." Sarah said politely. The six friends exchanged glances. "Oh yeah? What information??" Beckett asked. Sarah looked around the area and then walked into the trees hoping the others would follow. They did. Sarah led them very deep into the woods. Once she was satisfied with how far she had led them, Sarah turned to face the six friends. "I overheard the baker talking to a costumer before and I'm not exactly sure what he was saying but he told the man everything. Everything about you guys what had happened just earlier that day...everything. I don't know who he was but whoever he is must be after you guys." Sarah said a little out of breath after her explanation. Confused the six stared at Sarah with open mouths. "Someone is after us?" Casey asked.

"That's what it sounded like. I just felt like you guys should know in case somethi- ahhh!" Sarah said all of a sudden clutching her stomach and crouching down on the ground. Everyone freaked out. "Sarah! Are you alright?!?" Beckett asked rushing over to her. Sarah nodded. "I-I think so,." She said trying to stand back up but crying out in pain again. "You most certainly are not okay!" Rebecca said kneeling next to Sarah as well. Rebecca felt around in her basket for the small towel like peice of cloth that she normally would have used to cover the bread with. Rebecca then looked up at the guys. "Uh..you guys might not want to see this." She said. All three of the boys looked confused. "What's happening to her?" Peyton asked. Rebecca looked down at Sarah and then at each of the three boys. "What do you think is happening? She's about to have a baby." Rebecca said. The boys' faces paled and Sarah cried out again. "Rebecca, do you know what you're doing?" Baylee asked. Rebecca nodded. "For the most part yes, but thats why I need you and Casey." She said. Both girls nodded. "Uh well we're just going be back over here." Wiley said quickly turning and walking away with Peyton and Beckett right behind him. Casey and Baylee rushed over to Rebecca and Sarah. "Tell us what to do." Casey said. Rebecca then explained everything to them.

Over a couple trees in the woods the guys had sat together on a log their faces still pale. "Well I wasn't expecting that to happen like at all." Beckett said. Wiley snorted. "Yeah, I didn't expect Rebecca to all of a sudden be willing to help her either, I mean like twenty minutes ago she looked like she wanted to tear poor Sarah apart." Wiley said. Peyton laughed and Beckett cracked a smile. "Okay, is it just me or did Rebecca totally sound jealous when Sarah showed up?" Peyton asked. Sarah screamed again and the boys tensed for a moment. "She so did. If I didn't know any better I would say she might have feelings for a certain someone." Wiley said nudging Beckett's arm lightly. Beckett blushed and both Wiley and Peyton laughed. "You guys, stop it! She doesn't like me like that." Beckett said. Peyton rolled his eyes. "Dude, you guys are like perfect together. She has to like you!" Peyton said. More screaming. By now though the boys had distracted themselves. "Yeah, you two even have a perfect ship name!!" Wiley put in. Beckett and Peyton both looked at Wiley confused. "They do?"
